Band: Weezer Song: Buddy Holly Album: Self-titled (The Blue CD) Tabbed By: Brian H. Email: weezer090@hotmail.com One of my favorite songs of all time!! This is one of Weezer's best, and one of my favorite songs ever from my favorite band of all time! These guys are the best, they have a new album coming out, rumored in April, but very soon for sure. Be sure to check that out! Pretty easy song from them, and just to let you know, for future reference, weezer is pretty much always tuned down one-half step. So remember that for this song. Also, there are 2 guitars in this song. I'll say when. Enjoy this one! CHORDS: (Remember, this song is tuned down 1/2 step to play w/CD) F#5 - (244xxx) Dm5 - (x5776x) E5 - (022xxx) G#5 - (466xxx) C#5 - (x466xx) B5 - (799xxx) A5 - (577xxx) D5/A5 - (557xxx) D5 - (x577xx) E5/B5 - (779xxx) VERSE 1: (There is no intro, they just start out singing) F#5 G#5 What's with these homies dissin' my girl?

F#5 D5/A5 E5/B5 A5 I don't care what they say about us anyway. A5 D5/A5 E5/B5 A5 I don't care 'bout that.

Another big bang and you're C#5 B5 A5 A5 F#5 E5 F#5 A5 F#5 A5 B5 down on the floor. Oh no! What do we do? Don't look now, but C#5 B5 A5 A5 F#5 E5 F#5 A5 F#5 I lost my shoe.

(After he's done singing he plays the E5, F#5, E5, F#5. End on F#5, and do a finish slide!) And that's it for this awesome song. Now this tab is easy for me to read, because I made it, but I can very well easily see it hard for first-time viewers (Pros-included, because it's kinda messy) and so, if you have any questions, email me at weezer090@hotmail.com for any questions, comments, corrections, etc. It could be tough to read. Thanks!
